4A0-107 Exam - Question 2

When the shared buffer utilization reaches 55%, both in-profile and out-of-profile packets may be dropped. This is because in-profile traffic (low-slope) starts getting discarded when the average utilization reaches 10%, and out-of-profile traffic (high-slope) starts getting discarded when the average utilization reaches 50%. The maximum probability with which an out-of-profile packet can be dropped is higher than that of an in-profile packet. This is evident from the maximum probability values in the policy: 60% for high-slope (out-of-profile) and 80% for low-slope (in-profile).
